An impacted wisdom tooth is one which fails to erupt at give time and space.
Wisdom tooth may result to dental caries , crowding by pushing the neighbouring teeth, soarness of jaw , pain in jaw, pericoronitis causing inflammation to the gums surrounding it, may develop in to a cyst.
The treatment will be surgical removal of the wisdom tooth followed by painkiller and antibiotic regimen.

We shd treat the cause of the pain,not just the pain.whn u take painkillers the pain is suppressed but once the effect wears off,the pain wil start again..so it’s better to get it removed rather than taking medicines for long time
